Tool That Releases Pressurized Hydraulic Couplers
 ✖  |
Bill Knutson, Centerville, S. Dak.: “I made this simple tool that makes releasing pressurized hydraulic couplers as easy as turning a T-handle. I removed the ball and spring from a coupler and screwed on a 4-in. long nipple, then welded a 1/2-in. nut to the other end of the nipple. I also drilled a 3/16-in. dia. hole in the coupler and welded a 1/2-in. threaded rod to a T-handle. Screwing the rod all the way into the nut pushes on the ball at the end of the hose and releases the pressure. Works great.”
